Product Description
CMT Pair of Knives for Roundover and Chamfer (Top) - R=2mm + 45 deg. by CMT are precision-ground carbide profiling knives designed for spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines. This matched pair delivers a combined R=2mm roundover plus 45 deg. chamfer profile along the top edge of your workpiece, giving woodworkers clean, repeatable moulded profiles in a single pass. Whether you are shaping hardwood mouldings, softwood trim, plywood panels, MDF, or chipboard, these HW-grade carbide knives are built to maintain a crisp cutting edge through demanding production runs.
Key Features
- Combined roundover and chamfer profile (R=2mm + 45 deg.) - produces two distinct profile elements in a single setup, saving time and reducing the need for multiple tool changes on the spindle moulder or shaper.
- HW carbide material - hard metal carbide maintains a sharp cutting edge far longer than high-speed steel, meaning fewer interruptions for resharpening during production runs on dense hardwoods or abrasive sheet materials like MDF and chipboard.
- Precision-ground profile - each knife is ground to exact profile specifications, ensuring accurate, repeatable results from the first piece to the last, with consistent R=2mm roundover and 45 deg. chamfer geometry every time.
- Sold as a matched pair - both knives in the pair are included, so your cutter head is balanced and ready to run without sourcing individual replacement knives separately.
- 20mm diameter and 20mm cutting height - the knife geometry is sized to fit compatible CMT spindle moulder cutter heads, providing a full 20mm cutting height for complete profile engagement on the workpiece edge.
Why This Product
- Woodworkers who need a top-edge roundover combined with a 45 deg. chamfer can achieve both profile elements simultaneously - the R=2mm + 45 deg. geometry eliminates the need for two separate knife setups or sequential passes.
- The HW carbide construction makes these knives well suited for high-volume shops working with abrasive materials like MDF, chipboard, and plywood, where softer steel tooling would dull quickly and require frequent downtime for sharpening.
- Because the knives are sold as a complete matched pair, the cutter head remains properly balanced right out of the box, reducing vibration and supporting cleaner surface finishes on moulded edges.
- The precision-ground R=2mm roundover and 45 deg. chamfer profile is held to exact specifications, making these knives a reliable choice for production environments where consistent, repeatable profiling results are required across multiple workpieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profile do these knives cut?
These knives are ground to produce a combined R=2mm roundover plus a 45 deg. chamfer on the top edge of the workpiece. Both profile elements are cut simultaneously in a single pass when the knives are properly mounted in a compatible cutter head.
What machines are these knives compatible with?
These knives are designed for use on spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines that accept compatible CMT cutter head systems sized to these knife dimensions.
What materials can be profiled with these knives?
The HW carbide construction makes these knives suitable for shaping hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. Carbide tooling is particularly well suited to abrasive engineered sheet materials like MDF and chipboard that would rapidly dull non-carbide tooling.
How many knives are included in this order?
This product is sold as a pair - 2 knives are included per order. Both knives in the pair share the same R=2mm + 45 deg. profile geometry and are intended to be used together in the cutter head for balanced operation.
